Send forth Your light and Your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell. – (Psalm 43:3, NIV)

When we ask for God’s truth, we are asking to be provided the right path to follow. As we ask for His light, essentially, we are requesting clear vision to follow that which He has set before us. Thankfully, because of Jesus, we no longer have to go anywhere in particular to find the “holy mountain” (His temple), but rather when we are in relationship with Him, His Spirit dwells within us, and we need only to call on His Name. He hears our every cry, and the Lord is with us; always. His light and truth are available, we need only to ask of Him, to lead and guide us in the way He is calling us to go. May we remember to request that the Lord grant us His light and His truth to guide us in all things and at all times, so that we will faithfully walk where He leads.

Oh Lord, send Your light,

So I’ll clearly see;

The path You’ve made plain,

Prepared just for me.

God, show me Your truth,

So that I will know;

Where I’m meant to walk,

Which way I’m to go.

Thank You for Your grace,

That’s granted to me;

A heart where You dwell,

And Your love to see.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that as we ask, You answer. Thank You that You willingly and lovingly provide the right path for us to follow, and give us light to see the way we are meant to go. Forgive us for the times we neglect to ask, or choose to walk a different direction, despite knowing which way we are meant to go. Teach us to trust You more, so that we would walk in the light of Your truth in all things and at all times. Show us how to love those around us in such a way, that they may come to understand the magnitude of Your goodness and grace. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we ask You for what You are ready and willing to give. Amen.
